Yet their lives got entangled because of the dangerous mysteries that are still present in this place. Each of them got exposed to some mystical effects, so if they want to stay alive, they must figure out what to do without losing control of their being. The force that is paramount in Aksaypolis is pitiless. They can confront it only if they stand together.

Aksaypolis

This rather humble provincial town on the seaside is, in fact, one of the world’s oldest settlements. Long before humans invented the wheel, some peoples who names did not survive in history erected their sacrificial altars here in order to perform their abominable rituals.Eras, people, millenniums passed here. Ancient Greeks who gave the town its name lived here, just as numerous nomad tribes which kept fighting each other in the never-ending war for the control of the steppe. And the Necropolis of Aksaypolis expanded more and more, each time reminding people that they should not disturb forces which humans cannot grasp.Even in the 20th century, at the height of human progress and development, the authorities making the decision to create a modern industrial center here built a large industrial area. But people have never lived in any of the new buildings. Just as no one has ever worked in the workrooms of the huge plant shaped as a pentagram. What remains here today are the carcass frames of the buildings partially submerged in the swampland—and locals have been avoiding this site for half a century.
